How to assign three finger tap into right click menu on Windows 11?

Question

I'm using two laptops for a reason. My older Win10 laptop can't assign 2-finger tap at all, only scrolling etc. to 2-finger swipe, so I am used to assign right click menu to 3-finger tap for years.

Then I have to use a newer Win11 laptop which uses 2-finger tap, it could assign other use or custom shortcut to 3-finger tap but not right click menu.

It confuses me every time I have to switch. I'm thinking is there a way to make Win11 assign right click menu to 3-finger tap? Like is there a shortcut keys for it to assign to 3-finger tap as custom shortcut? I tried Shift+F10 but it is not the same, like it can only use general menu but not when I pointing to a link for example, cmiiw. Thank you in advance.

I don't have a touch screen to test on, but according to the documentation the free AutoHotkey can help.

The following example script is supposed to map 3-fingers tap to a right-click:

+^#F22:: MouseClick, right

After installing AutoHotKey, put the above text in a .ahk file and double-click it to test. You may stop the script by right-click on the green H icon in the traybar and choosing Exit. To have it run on login, place it in the Startup group at
C:\Users\USER-NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
